Moonbase 8
Failure is now an option.
Created by Jonathan Krisel, Fred Armisen, John C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker
On Showtime
A warm, character-driven comedy about three underdogs in a desert simulator, where the humor comes from their earnest incompetence and mutual support rather than cynicism.
In the isolated desert of Winslow, Arizona at NASA’s Moon Base Simulator, three eager astronauts—Skip, Rook and their leader Cap—attempt to qualify for their first lunar mission. They encounter many obstacles including loneliness, self-doubt and their own incompetence. In spite of it all, they remain determined to prove they have the right stuff to reach the moon.
